In today’s media and entertainment world, audiences demand flawless, high-quality audio experience, no matter which device they use to listen – mobile, tablet, or computer. Live streaming activities like concerts, conferences, sports, and radio programmings are extremely demanding on streaming infrastructure, particularly when there are unpredictable peaks in listener volumes.
Our client required an advanced audio streaming system that could provide high-quality audio, support live broadcasting through OBS software, and function well even on a mobile network. The current system caused issues related to latency, audio quality, and mobile network performance that resulted in people leaving the broadcast during peak hours.
We created a high-quality audio streaming solution with mobile optimization and integration with OBS for smooth and reliable broadcasting of a live event with increased audience engagement.
The Challenge: Audio Quality, Scale, and Device Fragmentation
Before the introduction of the new platform, the client experienced several problems:
- Variations in audio quality
Streams became choppy under load, especially during live events.
- Limited Live Production Support
The OBS environment was not compatible with other tools, making broadcast production difficult.
- High Latency
There were audio delays that impacted live viewing and engagement.
- Poor Mobile Optimization
Listeners using cellular devices were faced with issues of buffering, drop-offs, and high data consumption.
- Scalability Constraints
This infrastructure found it difficult to cope with peak user demand.
Such problems influenced not only listener satisfaction but also the authenticity of live programs.
Our Solution: A Scalable & Mobile-Friendly Audio Streaming Solution
We built and offered an end-to-end audio streaming service emphasizing quality, robustness, and scalablility.
